Tangerine Grilled Tuna
Ingredients
- 2 tuna steaks
- watercress
- 10 cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 teaspoon olive oil for drizzle
For the Marinade
- 2 ounces tangerine juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorn ground
- 1 teaspoon ginger ground
For Tangerine Carrot Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic roasted
- 4 ounces red onions chopped
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 tangerine juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse tuna steaks under cold running water and set in a deep dish
- In another mixing bowl, combing all ingredients for marinade and pour over tuna. Set in refrigerator for 1 hour
- Place all ingredients for dressing in a food processor or blender and puree. That will yield about 9 ounces of the dressing.
- Take 2 tablespoons of dressing and place in a mixing bowl. Place watercress and cherry tomatoes in the bowl and toss, coating well with dressing. Place in refrigerator to chill
- Heat grill and spray with Pam grilling spray.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil on tuna and place oiled side down on grill. Oil the upper side as well.
- Grill for 6 minutes, then flip and grill for 6 minutes on the other side. Your steak should be cooked medium well using this time frame. If you prefer a more rare Tuna steak, cut time down to 4 minutes on each side.
- Tuna tends to be dry so be careful not to overcook and you will have soft, moist and tasty results!!
- To plate, place salad in the middle of the platter and place tuna atop the salad. Enjoy!!
